If Neil Armstrong would have murdered Buzz Aldrin

A different strategy might be for Armstrong just to claim a piece of land, call himself King, and then pass a shoot to kill (ray-gun of course)trespassing law and take out Aldrin.

Even though this is almost 30 years before Titanic came out, I can just imagine Armstrong standing spread-eagle on the side of the landing module, Leo DiCaprio-style, shouting “I’M THE KING OF THE MOON!” and then killing Buzz with a ray gun.

However, Buzzy is a more likely murderer .

Seems like the US is essentially asserting is jurisdiction over the known universe, except for those portions of the Earth outside US territory, provided the vehicle used to reach that location is registered in the US.

I should point out that we can come closer to backing up that jurisdiction than any other known state…

Throwing a punch at someone who clearly provoked him makes him a more likely murderer? If I’m ever accused of something, I hope you’re not on the jury.

And you don’t think Armstrong ever got in a tussle?

You all are sick, sick, puppies. :rolleyes: Just sicko.

@DanBlather

Talk about your “Buzz kill”.

ROFLMFAO!

If I’d been there, I might’ve become an accessory, holding Sibrel down while Aldrin stomped him.

Whether he whacks off Aldrin on his way back to the LM is irrelevant.

:eek:

:rolleyes:

:dubious:

I am just not gonna go there.

You know, ol’ BS doesn’t live too far from me. Not that I’m sayin’ anything, I’m just sayin’. (Og knows, I’d love to show up at BS’s door with a bunch of biker lookin’ dudes and tell him, “Buzz told us to finish the job.” :D)

I think there should be an exception in the various assault and battery laws that says if you’ve walked on the moon, you’re allowed to punch Bart Sibrel.

Kinda’ like the proposal Texas made a few years back (dunno if it made it to legal status) to make assault and battery on someone burning a US flag a citable offense with a $50 fine and assault and battery as a lesser included offense…

Actually, Russia would be #1 in the list of states technically able to back up their extra-terrestrial rights, since they are the only nation on the planet right now to have regular manned flights.
Depending on the state of the shuttle program, the US may be #2.
China’s been gearing up their manned program, so they would be a very close #3.

Dave Bowman: Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL?

HAL: Affirmative, Dave, I read you.

Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

HAL: I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Dave Bowman: What’s the problem?

HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?

HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

Dave Bowman: I don’t know what you’re talking about, HAL?

HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen.

Dave Bowman: Where the hell’d you get that idea, HAL?

HAL: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
